Tundras live: Dad jokes not allowed and IPA drinkers shunned

Chicken pox canceled the one and only trip my parents planned to Disneyland when I was a kid. Little did I know it was a blessing in disguise.

 

Not as good as the last round, but still pretty funny!

 

I wore a suit to my grandfather's funeral out of respect for my grandmother.

 

Better make some room in your yard, @T-Rex266

 

They were both dead before I was old enough to care. They were just old grumpy people at the family reunions, and as a child I didn't attend their funerals.

 

A bargain at half the price!

 

Question

do those reflective spinny things scare birds away?

and are they really effective?

I have blue herons that drop giant piles of crap on the dock.


Fake owls do not work

 

Reflective spinny things is too vague. There are lots of things that fit that description.

I have a bunch of these type of things and they keep starlings off the rails that are 8 inches below them, but not out of the cat food that is 4 feet away. Fake owls do keep the starlings away.





However, I know that we have guy wires on some cell towers and we have devices like this that keep birds (specifically raptors) from flying into the wires and being injured. Ours are red and white, but similar. They spin and are reflective.

 

Not sure if this counts a me being lucky, but I don't need the shingles vax. I got shingles when I was 14 (bullied in school, shitty mom, nervous wreck - brings that on...), and the doc told me the chances of getting it a second time were tiny. Got it again in my late 30's (was married to Voldemort, constant court with my son's mom (two different women), nervous wreck...). Doc told me the chances of getting it a third time are infinitesimal. Life is great now, little to worry about - certainly not shingles.

 

School taught us that turkey was served at the first Thanksgiving, too.
If you need an exhaustive discussion:

I'll get the vax....seems easier

 

Disinformation - can always get it again

 

You sure you're not just being sold another vaccine?

 

It cost me nothing with my insurance but I was willing to pay hundreds. I now see my buddy on a lifetime of pain management because of permanent nerve damage. That is something I want to avoid. My minor case that was caught quickly was painful enough. I second guess a lot of the vaccines but not shingles.
It is dormant in you until stress or another trigger causes it to surface.

 

I went to bed with what felt like a fever coming on and expected to wake up in the middle of the night unable to sleep on my left arm (where I got the shot) and with the fever sweats. Slept great; no fever. Arm feels like time in middle school when your "best friend" (who was actually a dick) gave you the perfect knuckle slug in the arm during passing period. Manageable but there...

 

I’ve got a could more years before I need to get mine, but my wife got hers last year and that’s about how it was for her

 

Cherish it, man. I'd give up a lot to have my fur buddy come and snuggle up for a nap again.

 

My daughter made varsity rugby girls team this week. She played the whole game this am and has 4 more games today in a round robin tournament. We also just got told by the coach that she'll be traveling a lot this year for more tournaments.

 

I'd rather puke than have the bubble guts. However, the flu kicks my ass. I wind up half delirious, body aches, and lots of times it gets teamed up with a sinus infection. I still don't get the "vaccine" because it doesn't prevent anything. It's like they forgot what a vaccine is supposed to do and just started throwing it on any big pharma shot they want you to get... especially in "recent" times.
